It is estimated that not less than 30,000 sturdy | English and Scotch of the farming and skilled artisan classes will for Canada and the United States during the month of April and other thousands aro to follow. Most of these emigrants are bound for western Canada, though some will seek homes In the northwestern Amer- lcan states. The quality of this new tide of emigra- tion is even more remarkable than quantity, They are not “assisted eml- grants.’ For Instance, among the 1,500 passengers on the Empress of Britain, which satled recenitly from Liverpool to Canada, 200 of them formed a special “land party,” which is going out under the auspices of the Canadian Pacific rail- way officlals to settle in the Irrigation district of Calgary, in the province of Al- berta. Included in this party, which rep- resents & combined capita¥ of §250,000, was the first batch of settlers going out under Bir Thomas Shaughnessy's scheme for pro- viding ready-made farms for British immi- grants. Nineteen familles were destined for these homesteads, and their members were drawn from various professions. They included an englineer, a former inn- keeper, retired civil servant, army pen- sioner, bullder, coachman, dalry farmer and veterinary surgeon. What They Are Bringing. One of the party, & broeder of prize poultry, had paid $76 frelght on some chick- ens which he was taking out to his ready- made farm.

PAR April 28.—(Special Dispatch to The Bee.)—The steady accumulation of gold by the Bank of France Is arousing inter- est in diplomatic and the question is being asked If France is preparing for a general ropean war.

Austria and Russla appear to have come to an agreement In regard to the Balkans and have put a curb on the ambitions of Ferdinand of Bulgaria, while the tension between Japan and the United States has | been lightened, bat in high diplomatic c! cles it is recognized that there are cle- ments of dangr at both these points. That this is the secret of the accumula- tion of gold by the Bank of France is re- garded as not at all unlikely. There tainly seems to be economic reason | for it Under the law the Bank of France can- not issue more than $1,160,000,000 of notes. At the beginning of the year the actual | issue of notes was approximately $1,000,- 00,000, against which the bank had in its vaults coin to the value of $500,000,000. Of | this $142,600,000 was In gold, the greatest ac- cumulation of gold by far ever held by any bank in the world. And still the accumulation of gold goes on.

Castherg, ex-minister of justice in the Norweglan liberal cabinet. Mr. Castberg says in Norway women got the municipal franchise in 191 and the parlia- mentary franchise in 1%7. Men have uni- versal suffrage, but the female suffrage was at present confined to those women who, themselves or through their hus- bands, paid taxes on a yearly income of at least £0. This limitation excluded about 200,00 adult women out of 5,000,000 With the female franchise was combined eligi- bility for parliament. The first time that women exercised the franchise was at the general election last autumn. Seventy per cent of the enfranchised women voted Women were divided on the same political lines as men. Of course, there were excep- tions, but as & rule the influence of the family on the result of the electiony had been doubled. Three women stood for par- liament, but they were all defeated by thelr political opponents. Only one woman got elected as & member's deputy—that was, she would take the place of a mem- ber who dled or was absent through fli- ness or any other cause. On the whole, It might be said that the result of the first exercise of the parliamentary fran- ‘(‘hlu by women in Norway was to awaken | the public spirit of women.

Queen Sophia conducted the entire de- tense of Gaota, which was so magnificent that the garrison was permitted to march out with all the honors of war, Every day she visited the ramparts and encouraged officers and .men.
